“…Frameworks are proposed for shared planning, in a cocreative manner, using GIS-based cartography via the web, which is then optimized by geovisualization. The Geodesign application framework developed by Li et al (2012) is based on the stages of: applying group engagement methods in the initial stages of the process; consensus-building methods that involve the specification of values for different proposals; spatial analysis methods to simulate possible conditions and impacts; project management methods to achieve a final decision. Miller (2012) indicates that a Geodesign approach can be developed according to a science-based design, valuebased design or integral, or holistic, design.…”

Abstract. This paper discusses the state of the art in Geodesign, as a result from the evolution in the use of geospatial data for shared and co-creative planning. The evolution of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) led to significant advances in geovisualization, the use of cartographic data via the Internet and the construction of SDIs (Spatial Data Infrastructures). These advances fostered the emergence of Geodesign as one of the foundations for territorial planning. The text will also introduce a Brazilian Geodesign platform, GISColab, developed according to the standards set by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). The platform introduces layer creation resources via WPS (Web Processing Service), as well as tools for measuring the performance of participatory planning workshops, presently focusing on the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We introduce case studies in which SDGs were explored in different ways: in post-workshop analyses conducted by coordinators and participants, as well as its application as a supportive tool for decision-making during the workshop, via WPS. Finally, we also discuss the inclusion of SDGs to raise awareness of its key themes and support opinion building, resulting in transformative learning experiences.

“…The recent emergence of geodesign as a new field is a quite good example of these weaknesses. While GIS have partially emerged from landscape architecture and urban design, those fields have rapidly chosen to abandon GIS in favour of tools that are better able to provide and support open, smooth, sometimes ambiguous spatial representation of sensitive dimensions of places (Li et al, 2012;Roche, 2008;Wilson, 2014).…”

This second report is dedicated to the concept of 'place' revisited in the context of smart cities. Some recent studies suggest that today's digital cities rely more on an approach to the urban context based on a network of connected places than on an approach to the city built on areal spaces. Does it mean that there are more places and fewer spaces in spatially enabled cities? Is the intelligence of a city mainly related to its ability to sound out the genesis of urban places? These issues raise questions about the design of spatial models used to build GIS, as well as place-based urban design methods and tools. This second report explores these questions from the standpoint of GISciences.

“…Methods for the validation and qualification of VGI can ensure their coherence and smooth integration within municipal SDI, for instance (Goodchild and Li, 2012). Teaching approaches can improve citizens’ spatial skills and provide them with spatial thinking advanced abilities (Li et al, 2012) so that they can not only collect and diffuse geospatial data, but also participate in their analysis (Haklay, 2012).…”

In this report I propose to examine the concept of the ‘smart city’ from the standpoint of spatial enablement. I analyse emerging research on smart cities, particularly those addressing the potential role of GISciences in the development and implementation of the concept of smart cities. I develop the idea that the intelligence of a city should be measured by its ability to produce favourable conditions to get urban operators (citizens, organizations, private companies, etc.) actively involved into sociospatial innovation dynamics. To obtain such a commitment, I believe that operators should be able to develop and mobilize (digital) spatial skills so that they could efficiently manage their spatiality. In other words, I argue that a smart city is first of all a spatially enabled city.
